Introduction: A Citywide Treasure Hunt Returns
From 16 October to 14 December 2025, Singapore becomes a live playground for treasure hunters as Revolut partners with Sqkii for the annual #HuntTheMouse. Building on last year’s momentum, the event features a S$1 million prize pool, including a rare S$250,000 Gold Coin and 600 Silver Coins of varied values. The hunt is free to join, with coins hidden in progressively revealed locations across Singapore. The first to locate the Gold Coin wins the cash value, sparking an urban scavenger hunt that blends technology, social media, and real-world exploration.
New Categories: Inclusive Play Across Generations
This year introduces two innovative categories intended to broaden participation across ages:
- First-timers, Youth and Seniors: 400 Silver Coins of S$500 each are reserved exclusively for first-time players, youth (21 and under), and seniors (50 and above). This creates an inclusive, family-friendly experience that invites multiple generations to join the hunt together.
- IKWL – I Know Where Liao: A prediction-based category running online from 16 October 2025 (10 am) to 30 November 2025 (11.59 pm). Players can guess the Gold Coin’s location using hints and clues. The first three guesses are free, with up to ten winners sharing a prize pool of up to S$250,000 if their guesses land within 20 metres of the actual location. Prizes range from S$25,000 to S$250,000 depending on ranking and qualifying winners.
Prize Breakdown: A Total of S$1 Million
The prize structure remains expansive, featuring:
- 1 Gold Coin – S$250,000 (open to all)
- 100 Silver Coins – S$2,000 each
- 100 Silver Coins – S$1,000 each
- 400 Silver Coins – S$500 each reserved for the new inclusive categories
Approximately five Silver Coins may be reserved for Revolut account holders. The IKWL pool ensures a distributed opportunity for multiple players, with ID verification required for prize collection.
Introducing Timii: An AI Companion for Hunters
Timii debuts as the first AI companion for #HuntTheMouse. Designed to be accessible for all ages, Timii chats with players and provides practical tips to navigate the hunt. This AI feature aims to lower the entry barrier for beginners while keeping the game engaging for seasoned hunters.
How to Play: Real-Time Hints and Online Guesses
Players can track hidden coins on a real-time map at huntthemouse.sqkii.com. The Gold Coin’s hints are released three times daily on Sqkii’s official social channels (Instagram, Facebook, Telegram), with daily updates across the campaign. The map will progressively shrink Silver Coin circles and eliminate improbable Gold Coin locations at 10 am, 2 pm, and 6 pm daily.
Power-ups boost performance: Circle Shrink narrows the search area, Coin Sonar reveals proximity within 25m or 50m, and Metal Detector turns your phone into a live detector within the Silver Coin circle.
#IKWL Gameplay Details
Online participation requires a verified Sqkii account (18+). Each account automatically gets three free guesses, with more earned through optional brand actions. If any guess lands within 20 metres of the Gold Coin, the top ten closest guesses share the S$250,000 prize pool. If no guess hits within 20 metres, the ten closest guesses win.
Safety, Rules and Social Good
Community safety and respect for public and private properties are central to #HuntTheMouse. Clear rules and safety guidelines are published on the game site and promoted across social channels. Participants must acknowledge them before joining, with violations potentially leading to disqualification or reporting to authorities.
Why This Year Stands Out
Past data shows the event attracted nearly 1 million players, with most spending several hours exploring and hunting for coins. Beyond the thrill of the search, the game map also features Places of Interest offering bite-sized, location-based historical, cultural, or futuristic facts, enriching Singapore’s urban landscape with discovery and education.
Ready, Set, Hunt
Whether you’re a first-timer, part of a multi-generational family, or an online predictor, #HuntTheMouse promises a unique Singapore experience that blends technology, community, and a dash of urban adventure. Sharpen your tracking skills, follow the hints, and may the best hunter win the S$250,000 Gold Coin and the other exciting prizes.
